    "content": "Hon. Senators, it is noteworthy and I wish to emphasize to all hon. Senators that when we come to the debate on the Motion to establish the special committee, the debate on the Motion shall be limited to the substance of the Motion, namely, whether or not to establish the special committee. It will not be a debate on the substance of the impeachment; of its merit, propriety, prudence or even the constitutionality or the legality of the processes that have presided the submission of this matter to the Senate. Hon. Senators, impeachment is one of the most crucial oversight tools and rules for the Senate to hold State officers accountable. Therefore, in understanding this mandate, the Senate will be sitting as a quasi-judicial body and will conduct investigations into the disputed claims and alleged infractions of the Constitution and law and will thereafter make its determination."
